I've tried their beer and the best thing I can say about it is that it's cheap compared to most imports.
“....it’s cheap compared to most imports.
Except its not an import. Brewed and bottled in PA.
And it is a fine beer IMHO
As a Proud Pennsylvanian, I'd like to take umbrage with that statement... except I concur.
It's great that we have so many small breweries and such a wide variety of beers, but Yuengling is just a decent, somewhat bland, nothing special beer.
I have tried Yuengling too. The best I can say is that imports taste like $#!+ compared to Yuengling.
Well, you're comparing it to imports. Yuengling fans don't normally ascribe craft or import status to the beer. They just like it as a tremendous upgrade over the macro (non-American owned) breweries - and at the same price.
I can buy it in 12 pack cans (the best delivery method, by far) at Publix for $11 (sometimes on sale for as low as $8.99).
I agree when I lived in NY and PA I tried one but did not think much of it so it comign to Ohio means zero to me other than it will make my brand or someone else’s have less space in the cooler.
The regular lager is just OK - although supposedly it doesn’t use rice, and is the same now as it was pre-prohibition, but the Black and Tan and the Porter are nice - and they’re priced the same as Bud, Miller, Coors, etc.
Not gonna replace imports or microbrews - but better than the “mainstream” USA brands.
